OMONA ORIGINAL: KPOP MUSIC VIDEO TROPES PT. 2 - Shipping Containers and/or Heavy Machinery & Tools
There is a sister post with the same theme over on ONTD Click here.

Below I've compiled a short list of music videos featuring K-pop stars that, for some reason or another, love spending time dancing near shipping containers or hanging around heavy machinery:
Girl's Generation - Catch Me If You Can
The one where the girls are looking for their hearts at some kind of mining operation.
CIX - Tesseract
The guys from CIX looking for Sohshi's hearts at the mine.
9Muses - Hurt Locker
RIP to this iconic girl group that understood the power of the shipping container music video.
SISTAR - Shake It
Sistar going all-in with the tropes here, including the ever-present-in-kpop classroom!
Stray Kids - God's Menu
K-pop artists love an excavator moment. I mean, who doesn't!?
Ten - Paint Me Naked
Ten: on a couch, with a football, on a forklift. Because...because!
Everglow - First
Everglow, putting themselves first on a...shipyard? Oil platform? I have no idea where they are.
John Park - Falling
John Park ships HIMSELF. Brilliant.
Got7 - If You Do
One, singular shipping container - abandoned and covered in graffiti. It represents angst. It is profound.
NU'EST - Good Bye Bye
The shipping containers are there but you probably never noticed them before because they're just used as a wall? Idk, this video is absolutely batshit, man. I also thought this song was simply called "Goodbye" for the last 7 years but it's apparently "Good Bye Bye" for some inexplicable reason. The song still slaps though.
Pentagon - Naughty Boy
Frogs, shipping containers, chicken, high-vis jackets. This music video has everything!
I am missing SO MANY, I just know it. Help me out, omona! I feel bamboozled by the fact that Monsta X don't have a video that fits these tropes.
